Oh cookie dough. I'll admit to sneaking a taste or two, you? But, what might seem harmless, may be really dangerous, according to a new report. Details...

Government health researchers have a warning just in time for cookie-making season: Don't eat the dough!

Yeah, you already knew it wasn't exactly healthy, but did you know that even an innocent taste of cookie dough could make you sick--really sick?

"What our report shows is that you shouldn't eat cookie dough raw, no matter where it comes from," said the report's lead author Dr. Karen Neil, a medical epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "It's supposed to be baked."

It's not clear which cookie dough ingredient caused the 2009 outbreak (some people died!), but the researchers indicate that it could even be the flour, which isn't treated or pasteurized in the same way that eggs and butter are.
